CYBOOK ODYSSEY FRONTLIGHT

With several hundred thousand Cybook Odyssey sold in 50 countries, Bookeen will propose in October a new version of our best-seller, with a 6″, 600 x 800 px screen and our optimised FrontLight technology. The FrontLight, enormously appreciated by our clients, allows you to read in any conditions, even in a dark room, without eye fatigue. The Cybook Odyssey FrontLight also offers the highly-demanded choice of buttons or touchscreen.

With 4Go of internal memory, the Cybook Odyssey FrontLight can hold close to 4000 books, and more than 36,000 on a memory card thanks to the microSD port. As for content, the Cybook Odyssey FrontLight comes pre-loaded with more than 100 books, in English, Italian, German, Spanish, and French, so you can start reading right away.

And with 9 weeks of autonomy, you can enjoy reading without worrying about having to stop to charge your battery.

Mid-October, this new Cybook Odyssey FrontLight offers all the key features and qualities at a very tempting price: around 100€ in stores.

CYBOOK OCEAN

In early November, Bookeen will launch the Cybook Ocean, with a large reading surface and extra-thin 7mm design!

After 10 years developing 5 and 6″ readers, here comes the first Cybook with a large, 8″ screen, comparable to a paper book page, with a resolution of 768 x 1024px. This format provides a reading surface 79% larger than that of a standard 6″ reader, excellent for comfortably reading pdf documents, mangas or press for example.

Bookeen’s R&D worked to optimise the Ocean’s design, to provide the best reading comfort in a highly portable object; the Cybook Ocean is exceptionally thin at just 7mm.

The super-thin flat profile nonetheless integrates a new version of the FrontLight technology already crowned with success on the Cybook Odyssey. Read comfortably in all light conditions, from bright sunlight to a dark room.

With 4Go of internal memory, the Cybook Ocean can hold close to 4000 books, and more than 36,000 on a memory card thanks to the microSD port. As for content, the Cybook Ocean comes pre-loaded with more than 100 books, in English, Italian, German, Spanish, and French, so you can start reading right away.

Like all the Cybooks, the Cybook Ocean offers a record autonomy: read without worrying about recharging for up to 10 weeks.

The Cybook Ocean will be available early November for around 160€ in stores, making it a very attractive large-format offer.

We’ll provide more information about the Cybook Odyssey FrontLight and the Cybook Ocean, including photos and more technical details, in the coming days, so stay tuned!

Since I would like to use the Cybook Ocean to improve foreign languages (mainly deutsch) will TTS functionality and single words translation good & fast enough to make it useful? Is it available a detailed description on how TTS will work (i.e. as simple as touching a word to get it pronounced and translated in a target dictionary)? I think it would really be worth having such a wonderful learning tool!

Hello Mauro,
reading is certainly an excellent way to improve your foreign language skills, and the dictionary function is very useful for that. 🙂 I don’t have any information at the moment about TTS, but be sure to keep watching our blog, as soon as more information is available we’ll post it here.
